kentsang Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) I love ice-cream very much and longing to have my own ice-cream parlor. With the very colourful ice-cream of different flavor, my approach to this stall is transparency. In order to attract more customers, I have full height glass shopfront with a pair of "automatic" sliding door, curved corner with a revolving display cake stand and a take- away counter. Those are the special features of my stall. To let in more sun-light to my parlor, there is an inclined skylight. The skylight could be open to let in natural ventilation as well. Inside the shop, apart from the fridge counter for customer to select the ice-cream flavor. There was a wide range of add-on ingredient to the ice-cream at the back of the counter, bottle of chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, vanilla sauce. The shop was also equipped with a juicer in case customer need some drinks. At the back corner of the shop, there is a refrigerator to display the ice-cream cake and cartons of drinks. A standing table is provided for customer to enjoy their ice-cream inside the parlor. If customers come when they walk their dogs, they can enjoy their ice-cream outside the parlor at the bar counter. Some can park their bike at the bicycle stand. Colourful paver was laid outside the parlor as another attraction. This ice-cream parlor can also fit into the fabric of other LEGO modular houses. In some photos, I have another MOC Flower Shop arranged in different orientation to my ice-cream parlor. I have launched the set to LEGO IDEAS, Wish to have your support https://ideas.lego.com/projects/94422 Edited February 18, 2015 by Rick Quote
gazumpty Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Aw I love the scale of this project...you have got it absolutely nailed. The shop-front and signage is very imaginative and I really like your sloped glazed roof-light. I've also never seen your florist MOC...looks really cool and contemporary. I shall be lending my support to you on IDEAS. I'm sure lightingtiger will be along to lend his support and praise...these creations would look really great in his Manum builds Quote
peedeejay Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 This very nice and fun to look at. Lovely details. I also like how the plaid you put it on to shoot some photos looks like LEGO as well, ;) Quote
Redhead1982 Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I like the scale of your MOC, but I have to say it would look pretty small next to a modular building. You really put a lot of details into it. I find the outside bar counter really handy for people randomly passing by. Also, lots of glass makes the place look much brighter, and the skylight is a nice touch to keep more light in. Quote
lightningtiger Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 My ears were burning this morning for some reason 'gazumpty' ! Yes, I do like this......perfect in either city or Friend's, cool ice shop interior (sorry for pun there). Good luck on Lego Ideas and Brick On 'kentsang' ! Quote
Withacee Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Absolutely lovely. You did not fall into the trap of going overboard on the colours. The curved display window, the inside counter and the outside counter look great! Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Keep clicking those bricks together! Quote
kentsang Posted February 15, 2015 Author Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) Thanks all for the support. I have combined the Ice Cream Parlor with 10185 & 10190 respectively, and see, they fit perfectly~~~ ^^ Edited February 19, 2015 by kentsang Quote
